Nantucket Out of Season.

In May the cod fishermen are in pos

fishery that We drove out On the wide
beach under the bluff, perhaps a score

falling on the swells outside the line of
breakers. They are coming, said our
friend as he hastened down to view the
operation. A horse attached to fish

bronzed and sturdy fishermen were
watching the incoming boats.
Goldfish strike here between the mid

They are caught with hook and line,

The bette noir of woman who get into

hard battle with an actress recently, in

hands on her property. But one day

ing his customers, he saw that it would
make him immensely unpopular if he
should interrupt lady creditor in the
midst of her festivities, and fearing that
such an act would drive trade from his
door he made up his mind to wait till the
conclusion of the fete before entering to
make the seizure So he secured the SER
vices of two officers and coach and
drove TO point just across the road from
the actress hotel There he stopped and
waited. The night was long and the
dancers in the hotel across the way nev-
er weary At the time when the enjoy
ment was at its height the actress maid,
that never failing conspirator, began qui-
etly to remove the precious knick-knacks
and other yaluables from the house by a
back door. Morning dawned, and still
the fete continued. At Z O'Clock, howev-
or, the last guest departed, and the jewell

spring came the acanthus began to
grow, it wound about the bucket, gar
landing it on all sides.
A great sculptor passed that way
and saw it. Its beauty suggested to
him an idea, and he worked out from it
the famous Corinthian capital which
has immortalized the acanthus. The
manner in which we decorate our
graves will suggest nothing to the
sculptor, but to the poet, the philosopher,
the everyday human being with a
heart in his bosom, its suggestions are
beautiful rs the more material ones
which live in marble. To the poet
Longfellow, the nameless grave has not
appealed in vain. The following
beautiful sonnet expresses the intensity
of feeling which lay in his loyal heart
and which is echoed to-day by thou
sands:
A soldier Of the Union mustered out,"
Is the ms cription on an unknown grave
At Newport News beside the salt-sea wavc,
Nameless and dateless; sentinel or scout,
Shot down in skrmish or disastrous rout
or battle, when the loud artillery drave
Its iron wedges through the ranks of brave
And doomed battalions, storming the redoubt
Thou unknown hero, sleeping by the sea,
In thy forgotten grave! with secret shame
feel my pulses beat my forehead burn
When remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,
And Gun give thee nothing in return"
SARAH S. PRATT.
